To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, RALPH W. WILSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, county of Kings, and State of New York, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Containers, ofwhich n pthe following is a specification.

2 using them.

My invention relates to thatA class of containers which are employed fortoilet powders and rouge, etc., and has for its ob-v ]ect to provide aconstruction which will notV only hold both the rouge .arid/ powdercompact in a single receptacle but will provide `means of ready andvconvenient access y means of accomplishing the foregoing objects may bemore easily understood by having reference to the accompanying drawing,which'is hereunto annexed and is a part of this specification, in which:

Fig. 1 lis a perspective view of my improved device with the two sidesnor covers open;

Y Fig. 2 is a cross of the device; f p

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the device with both sides or coversclosed, one of the covers being shown in dotted lines in open .position; p y

Fig. 4is a top or planview of the powder and rouge container; .j p

1 .Fig 5 is'aplanV vlew of one of the covers, and V Fig. `6 is a crosssection of the powder and rouge container together with the pads forsection `through the center Similar reference numerals refer to simi-4lar parts throughout the entire, description. As shown in the drawingsmy device comprises 1a owder and rouge container 10,

which is ormed with anfannular space 11,

1 which surrounds areoess 12, which is adapt- 4ed lto receive a quantityof rouge 13. A pad 14, of chamois or other suitable material may belaced adjacent the outer part of the rouge.

in a com act and extends entirely over the wall 17 or'ming a bottom tothe recess 12 in which the rouge is located. A ad 18, formed of chamoisor any other suita terial ma be placed adjacent the outer surface fof te powder compact 16. It will be apparent that in this consti-action Iprovide for amamount ofppowder large-ly in excess he powder 1-6 ispreferably formed" med November 2s, 1921.

of the amount of rouge. This is desirable since a mich larger portion ofthe powder is used and the user will nothave to throw away a'lotof rougewhen the powder'is usedy up as is the case when they are in equalproportions. The external wall 19, f the container 10, is provided withan ornamental beading 20. The container is then placed inside of the twohinged covers 21 and 22 which are suitably connected in spacedrelationship by a hinge 23 of the usual construction but which is somounted upon the y covers as to provide sufficient space between thehinge 23y and the beading 2() on the co11- tainer. Preferably, I mount amirror 24 inside of each of the covers 2l and 22, these mirrors beingheld in place by an annular band 25 or any other suitable and "con--meet the beading' 20 at which time their outer surfaces will beparallel,for as al- The flanges of\ the covers telescope the container until theyready pointed out, they are hinged in spaced relationship, whenl byopening the cover as clearly shown in the dotted lines in Fig. 3,aceesscan be had to the powder, the pad 18 being instant-ly availablefor yuse and the mirror in the back of thel cover 21;7 being visible toenable the user to appl the powder in a satisfactory manner. y closingthe cover 21 and turning the boxfover and opening the cover 22, therouge is also available, 'thejnirror in the cover 21 furnishingasatisfactory means whereby theiuser may erforml the required toiletoperations satlsactorily. It will be apparent fromj the foregoingdescription that it is unnecessary to carry twoboxes to obtain eitherpowder or rougel since the are held inv a single container and that t eopenig of the box .to secure access to either one makes the mirrors, 24located. inside of the covers, instantly available for use. The beading20 furnishes a very desirable finger hold for holding the container inwhichever cover it is desired to keep it, while the beading 26 affords avery satisfactory finger holding for opening thel covers, theoperatorbeing able to grasp the end cover and the beading 26 and hold itwith-the lingers and thumb of one hand While the fingers and thumb ofthe other can grasp the beading V26 and swing the cover back on thehinge 23 as clearly shown in Figs. 2and 3. i

kIty will be apparent from thelforegoing description that in thisconstruction,` I have provided a very compact article but one in whichthe contents are readily and conven-`v a container to be secured betweenthem, said -f container being recessed on one side torejas Yceive apowder compact and' provided on its reverse side with a-smaller recessto receive a rouge compact.

2. A conta1ner having an annular recess on one side a central recess onthe other,-the,

bottom of Which is below -the pla-ne of the top of the other' side, apair of `flange covers hinged in spaced relation which, telescope theexternal -wall of said container, a mirror powder in the'annular recess,a quantity of rougeinthe central recess, a pad intermediate each of themirrors and the powder and rouge.

5. A vanity box comprising covers seof said body portion and a rougecompact secured on the other side thereof.

7. A vanity box comprising two covers secured in spaced relation to eachother and a container with an annular spacing bead formed thereon,mounted between the covers i in such manner that when a cover is closedthe spacing bead determines its limit of movement on `the container, apowder com# pactcarried by one side of the container and .a smallerrouge compact by the other side thereof.-
